doc: Remove links to further reading from pgcrypto docs
The pgcrypto docs contained a set of links for useful reading and technical references. These sets of links were however not actively curated and had stale content and dead links. Rather than investing time into maintining these, this removes them altogether since there are lots of resources online which are actively maintained. Backpatch to all supported versions since these links have been in the docs for a long time.
